| Notes |
- At the time of the 1900 census, Ann Brophy Cotter was living with her stepson, Simon Kenton Cotter, in Clark County, Ohio. The census indicates that she was the mother of nine children (5 still living), and that she emigrated in 1834. Her obituary from the Sumner Press, 4 September 1902, reads: "Cotter. Anna Brophy was born in Galway county, Ireland, February 3, 1826; departed this life August 28, 1902, aged 76 years, 5 months and 25 days. She united with the church of England when eight years old, married George Cotter in 1844 and came to this country in 1850. To this union were born five children: two have preceded her to the better world, and the remaining three are A.L. Cotter and Mrs. Margaret Way of Springfield, Ohio, and Mrs. J.P. Huston of Sumner. Mrs. Cotter was left a widow in 1863, and in 1865 married James Cotter; to this union were born two children: J.L. Cotter of Nevada, Missouri, and Mrs. Frank Melrose near Claremont. She was a good, kind neighbor, always ready to administer to the sick and those in trouble. After coming to this county she united with the M.E. church and was a conscientious Christian woman. Often within the last few months when in conversation with her daughters and others, she expressed her desire to go and meet her Saviour and her loved ones whom she had been parted from so long, and said she was ready whenever the summons came." The causes of death listed on her death records are senility and acute fever, with complications from diabetes.
